A Woman's Shocking Crime.

ROCHESTER,, N. Y. Sept. 26.-Cynthia
Mcdonald IL in jail here, arrested on the
charge of murder in the second degree.
Early in the morning officers made descent
on her house, and found four children in it.
Two were dead, apparently from starvation,
as they were merely skeletons. A little food
was found. A physician began an examina-
ton of the food which had been administered
to the infants, and at once pronounced it
unfit for use. Two other children were found
their little limbs being about as large as
brOOm.handes. DR.. Mulligan gave 1t as his
opinion that these children would not prob
ably survive twenty-four hours longer. He
said the little ones showed unmistaka able
signs of most cruel and wanton neglect. The
claim Is that Mrs. Mcdonald had admins
tered c0rdials to make the infants sleep. The
woman, 1t Is said. has conducted o baby farm
for illegitimoie children for several years.

The opinion of the court was written by
Judge Colt, who stated that the main purpose
of the bill was to cancel two patents granted
to Bell, relating to the act of transmitting
speech by electricity, on the ground that they
were obtained by fraud. The court quotes
opinions by Judge Shpley in other cases of
like nature and says this opinion, to the
effect that the government in the
absence of any express statement,
has no right to bring in equity
to cancel patent" is sound. "Our whole pa
tent system rests upon the constitutional pro-
vision and statutes passed by congress. Con-
gress could have provided that the govern
ment should have the right to bring SUIT to
cancel patent for an invention on the ground
OF fraud hut congress has not seen tit to in
corporate such provision into the patent
laws, and that Is q sufficient answer to this
bill" 1.-THE main grounds on which the va
lidity Of the patent are attacked" says the
decree, "can be raised In an infringement suit.
The question of power raised by the bill Is
an nimportant one, and in view of the conflict
of authority 1t can only be definitely settled
by the supreme court. The demurrer to the
